[#traditions + #happyeid✨] Here in the #UAE, Eid has been announced as starting tomorrow. It’s a three day thing (!). A bit like a #Pashtun wedding I went to recently (see photo).
School’s out for a few days, there’s a buzz in the air and a festive feel about things. And so this post is just to say - I wish you the happiest Eid if you’re celebrating, and if not, then the happiest weekend ahead.
Still reading? Here are some things I do on Eid:
1 - Eat during the day! A total treat by this point.
2 - Have henna/mehndi artwork done on my hands
3 - Dress extra nicely
4 - Meet and spend time with friends, family & loved ones
5 - WhatsApp Eid greetings (!). (Ah. storage space - I hope my phone survives)
6 - …rest! Catching up on sleep is a winner for this holiday.
7 - bonus for this year: finally eating my Easter egg. 😁
💬 #overtoyou: What do you do on Eid, if celebrating? Are you anything like me? Any fun traditions? If you’re not observing Eid and you have a few days of holiday around it, how do you enjoy the extra few days off around this celebration?
This was such a special month with so many traditions intertwined. So, I hope you all enjoy yourselves this coming weekend, no matter what.
